Epic mistake not disabling the lag fix first dude, but your only human...

Rytkonen is right though, if you cant enter download mode to reflash via odin then the jig is your last life line.

Theres nothing much anybody here can do for you im afraid.

If you sent it back for repair chances are pretty good you will be charged for the phone.

Hope you get it sorted.

Apologies, next time I will outright admit I screwed up! Jig is working, just getting hold of Odin etc. Thanks for the help thus far.

Ok I managed to flash my phone using an external guide (samsunggalaxays forums).

The files I used were:

s1_odin_20100512.pit

CODE_I9000XWJM8.tar

MODEM_I9000XXJM4.tar

The guide said not to use anything for the CSC. It seemed to download it ok but it came up with the error "E: can't mount /dev/block/stl11 (invalid argument)...." - the guide said this sometimes happens and to just restart. It restarted and the Orange logo was replaced with the Samsung one but after the pulsing logo nothing happened - I waited ages.

So should I try a different ROM? Would I get better results if I did put something in for CSC? There are also a few options in the menu when I get the error message above, is it too late to try the factory reset option?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wryel:
Ignore that - JM1 worked and it's alive!! Now that it's working and I've invalidated the warranty I might as well get a decent 2.2 ROM (after I get the 3 button thing working and before I but the lag fix on again ;) )

Wish I'd gotten off my jaxy and done this ages ago....

[Q] I bricked my i9000t using kies from 2.1 to 2.2

hello everybody,

this is my first time on XDA and also my first android phone.

I am a certified A+ and CCNA with bast experience on computers and servers.

here is the situation,

I bought a gt-i9000t and before i even made a phone call with it, i decided to upgrade to 2.2 using KIES.

the phone just died during the update and doesnt turn on, charge or anything. I bought the download mode JIG and no luck with it. no button combos or anything is working. all i get is a really black screen and no signs of life at all. battery is measuring 3.7 volts on a FLUKE multimeter.

Please help, i've spend days reading stuff online and nothing seems to work.

Thanks

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azzledazzle:
so you can still access CWM ?? if so try a factory reset.

Does Download mode work ?? if so re flash back to stock

if none of them work, you could try a jig (sold on ebay)

or send back to samsung ( but its risky if you have modded it ) you will have to pay.

[Q] [BRICKED] - Download/Recovery Mode OK - NO USB connection

Hi everyone,

after googling the whole internet and searching the xda for a solution for my problem i come to ask for your help.

Three days ago i screwed up when restoring a backup, now my phone is stuck at the initial "Galaxy S GT-I9000 Samsung" screen.

I can get to the recovery mode, tried factory reset but no luck, still the same problem.

I dont have a ROM at the sdcard so i can't flash with CWM.

So i tought, Ok, let's try with Odin then. Got the phone to download mode, but when i connect to my laptop, windows dont recognize my device, e put it as a Unknown device in the Device Manager, Odin dont recognize it too. Looking for a solution i downloaded the AndroidSDK 1.5 to try to connect via ADB with the android_usb driver. (Image attached)

I Followed the instructions to point the Unknown Device to the android_usb driver, i have Windows 7 - 32 bit (Image attached)

But when i select the driver i get this error. "The folder you specified doesn't contain a compatible software driver for your device. If the folder contains a driver, make sure it is designed to work with Windows for 32-bit-systems"

I have no ideia where can i go from here, i tried everything, from booting the laptop and phone, from installing samsung usb driver, removing and re-installing kies, but no of these actions had any results.

If anyone could help i would be very grateful, im kinda lost.

Thanks guys.

i do not steal the phone

i called orange and asked them to locate the owner but they wont help..they said the real owner might have get a new phone from insurance cover..and orange asked me to report to police

i wanted to report to the police but i think if orange wouldnt care about it anymore why would police?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Logicalstep:
Can you post us the link of the advert in Gum tree? ;)

Possessing a stolen item is illegal and you should make every effort to return it to she rightful owner.

I would firstly, ask for your money back from the seller and return it and Secondly report it to the police.

Reporting it to the police, won't actually do anything, they don;t really give sh*t about stolen phones as it happens many times everyday.

They might make some effort to contact the guy who sold it to you but, honestly, the chances are they won't do anything.

Your choice, your risk.

Logicalstep
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Maddmatt:
You're knowingly using someone else's phone, this is basically theft. Is it really too much to ask to go to the police? Don't support criminals...

Phone BRICKED. any help appriciated

This is the first time i bricked a phone, and as you can see i had many.

I flashed JPC yesterday and it was working fine until i rebooted and i can see the Samsung Galaxy S white text, the phone reboots again and again and again.

I put the phone into recovery and i see the below message:

E: Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1

(no such file or directory)

E: copy_dbdata_media. Can't Mount SDCARD

Your storage is not prepared yet.Please use UI menu for format and reboot actions.

Trying to format the internal SD from recovery also fails with unable to find SD card.

Seems like the internal SD card is hosed.

I tried flashing to other firmwares like 50 times. i clicked repartition and tried without repartition.

The flash ends fine, but the phone just wont boot and if i go into recovery i see the same message (the mount path might change but the error is the same "unable to mount SDCARD"

Seem liks JPC corrupted my card and there is on way i could find to fix this.

I can put the phone into download mode and recovery just fine. The flashing process ends fine but the it just won't finish the boot process.

[Q] Imposible to connect my SGS to the PC, is it bricked? Help me, please!

I have a SGS:

GT-I9000

Fw: 2.2.1

Kernel version: 2.6.32.9 hardcore speedmod-k12g-256hz #50

Build number: Hamster Roms V6.2

PDA: I9000XXJPY

PHONE: I9000XXJPY

CSC:I9000OXAJPY

Build Info: 2010. 12

ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.1.0 SpeedMod ULFK

The problem is that my PC doesn't recognize my SGS.

I've the last KIES version (I've tested download only the drivers, but i could get nothing...)

I've tested in two differents PCs, Windows 7 and XP but nothing.

I was testing a lot of ROMs but really I don't know when it stopped working. I think the last update with ODIN, when it was working, was to update to SO_zImage_opt_ext_root_JPM-JP6_V4_1_OC but I'm not sure. Later I've update my SGS from CMW many times.

I've tried to access by Mass Storage and Samsung Kies but nothing...

The are some extra symphtoms:

When I connect to the charger, in my SGS is activate automatically the MTP application for KIES.

When I connect to my PC, I receive the next warning: USB Device Not Recognized: one of the USB devices attached to this computes has malfunctioned, and Windows does not recognize it....

I've update my last firmware wit WIPE option from CMW, tested with and without LAGFIX but nothing.

I think that something is wrong about the compatibility or updating proccess, but I can't access to connect my UBS in my computer, neither to ODIN with DOWNLOAD mode because my PC doesn't recognize it.

Are there any way to get my PC recognized again my SGS?

Are there any way to know if the problem is anything incompatible with Kernel version and Firmware, or anything like that?

Is normal my SCS being different that PDA or PHONE?

If somebody knows, please help me.

With phone disconnected, enable USB debugging on it.

(Settings > Applications > Development > USB debugging)

On the PC, download and install PdaNet (http://www.junefabrics.com/android/download.php). PdaNet has an Android USB driver within itself which seems to work for most people with USB connectivity issues.

Now plug in the phone and click 'USB connected' from the phone's notifications and see if you can see the device as a USB flash drive in Windows Explorer.

Doubt it, they will just boot your phone into download mode and flash it, which should remove all traces of your custom rom. So unless if your rom modified the download mode logo (not sure if that is even possible actually), they won't be able to tell.

Help me un-brick my phone? Possible dead SD Card...

So with the latest Speedmod kernel I attempted to convert /system to EXT4.

One you are 100% kernel, modem,pda, csc etc. See if it boot, if it dose not use odin and flash speedmod k120T, go into the lagfix menu and see how the partitions are set. Are they all RFS or EXT4? Are they Mixed? Set them all back to RFS and let it do its thing and report back.
